A fresh breath to the musical air, Sam and Nate have had melody embedded in their lives since birth. With a background in piano, guitar, bass and drums, Sam & Nate have cultivated an understanding musically that has no further explanation than brotherhood. Samuel leads the two in melody with Nate’s purposeful unique rap style that demands attention. 2008 led them to winning multiple talent competitions, most notably AMTC. In 2009, the two found ultimate focus, seeking to take their musical endeavors to the next level. They began writing, rehearsing and performing on stages. Their first recording took place in a closet; the second was done in Dallas, Texas with acclaimed record producer Geoff Rockwell.

The summer of 2011 brought their musical talents to their “Camplified Tour” on the East Coast performing before thousands of screaming campers. They shared the stage with Savvy, who recently were signed to Cash Money Records label. Sam & Nate continue to perform as often as possible, and in December were invited to Disney’s Celebration City, to perform at “Celebration of Voices” sharing their talent with everyone in the snow covered streets. They have been working and recording in Atlanta, Georgia with John Eley. Their new single, “Fell In Love with Love”, featuring Algee is stirring up much interest in the music industry and is getting a lot of air play.

Rainy and The Dust is a live project by Bristol based Singer-Songwriter Rainy, currently performing as a duo with guitarist Rob York. Together, they bring to the stage beautiful Rootsy-Acoustic World Music grooves, infused with the positivity of Rainy’s lyrics and tied together by an eclectic, laid back musical style. A favourite on BBC Radio Bristol, Radio Cardiff and Tom Robinson's BBC 6 Music show among others, Rainy won the 2011 PRS song writing competition and has played at the likes of Glastonbury, Beachbreak, Lakefest (supporting Reef alongside Toploader), Goldcoast Oceanfest (supporting Ash Grunwald, Ben Howard and Ed Sheeran) and many other festivals and venues across the U.K. People trying to put a finger on Rainy and The Dust’s sound usually compare them with the likes of Dave Matthews, G-Love and Paul Simon. In truth, they are nuances of all of the above... and something else entirely!

In 2008 two high school best friends began embarking on their dream. They had already been active in Milwaukee’s music scene for a while; Ian Ash had won the Summerfest Pepsi Talent Search after performing an original song at the early age of 13, and Bassist, Chivo had cut his teeth playing Hard Rock in several projects; but after seeing an opportunity to compete for a major label record deal, Ian and The dream was formed.

Competing in Bodog’s Battle of the Bands, Ian & The Dream were named “Best MilwaukeeBand”, landing them performances in front of larger crowds such as the Metro and House
of Blues in Chicago. Ian Ash won the title “Top Singer” at Waukesha County Fair, earning
him an opening performance with the Beach Boys. When Grammy award-winning Beach Boy
Bruce Johnston praised Ian’s performance, the band knew they were ready to reach higher
in pursuit of their dream.

Esther spent 10 years traveling and building up a worthy collection of material for her debut album "Do They Blame Us", which she recorded in Fortress Studios in London. It's a mix of Folk, Pop, Choir and Acoustic mayhem.

Shortly after finishing the album, her song "Shining Star" was picked for the final scene of the New Zealand film "My Wedding and Other Secrets". Since then she has been working on the next 2 albums, which are now ready for recording.

Eisentanz experiments with any and everything to unravel the beautiful sounds of his environment and the world as a whole. Water, metal, wood, stones, machines, train stations, airports; everthing is an instrument in his music.

Eisentanz delivers a very special Live Performance, creating music from hanging metal tubes, PVC pipes, springs, body pads, typewriters and sticks, just to name a few.

Fans of "Brian Eno", "Portishead" and "Dead Can Dance" will all want to add Eisentanz to their music collections.

The Tenants were formed by Pete and John after a chance encounter in an East End pub. Working on John's early material forged a strong partnership and the search for a rhythm section began. Through time the boys auditioned members with little success until Fraser answered an online advert. Bass player Fraser met with Pete and John in a city rehearsal studio and after playing "Into The Senses" he was sold. A couple of sessions later he brought Rick along and the line-up was complete. Making their live debut in 2007 the band have been playing in and around Glasgow's popular music venues such as King Tut's, Barrowlands, The Renfrew Ferry and Nice 'n' Sleazys. Taking pride in their performances, The Tenants are one of the best live acts around.

Trends and fads come and go, but honest, heartfelt Rock ‘n’ Roll is here to stay, especially if Chicago rockers Vintage Blue
have anything to say about it. Described as “poised to become the Windy
City’s next great Rock n’ Rollers” by SOCO Magazine, their freshman LP -
Strike The Mics, produced by the Grammy-nominated Jamie Candiloro (REM,
Ryan Adams) has been added to over 170 radio stations in the USA and Canada, and has been the subject of features on both WXRT in
Chicago and WOCM in Ocean City, Maryland as well as a national
television placement on WGN TV. Released in February 2012, Strike The
Mics was met with even further acclaim, as the band sold out their CD
Release show at Subterranean in Chicago and headlined at the Chicago
House of Blues.

Since creating the band in 2011, Vintage Blue,
which includes Will Crowden (grandson of the founder of Ludwig Drum
Company) and songwriters Ryan Tibbs and Ben Bassett, have had the
opportunity to support some excellent musical talents, including:
Lifehouse, Fitz & The Tantrums, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic
Zeroes, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound, The Punch Brothers, Brett
Dennen, Local H, Vertical Horizon and 10,000 Maniacs. The band even
spent some time touring with Sister Hazel in 2011 and 2012, which
further fueled their growth and their desire to reach the masses. What
they learned from those bands can be seen in their live performance,
with one reviewer saying “they have a lot of fun and it is contagious,”
and from another show describing the musicianship as “not only
technically proficient … but entertaining.”

Although the band
are regulars in the ever-thriving Chicago club scene, selling out shows
at the House of Blues, Lincoln Hall, Double Door, Schubas and
Subterranean, the band also just completed their first national tour. The band rocked with some great crowds in Nashville, Atlanta,
Ocean City, Philadelphia and Cleveland … and that’s only the beginning.

Her music reflects the influences of her travels, a blend of R&B, Soul, and World Music. Kileza's journey in music started with classical training in Piano studies at the age of 7, she then went on to teach herself to play the Guitar as she moved more and more into the world of Pop and Jazz. Whilst attending the University of Waterloo in Canada she took a course in Music Production which changed her relationship with music forever. She then went on to set up a home studio where she began to write and produce for herself and others. Kileza has had the opportunity to perform and tour around Europe both as a solo act and with heavyweights like Boney M. She has set her sights on an international career, as a singer and producer. Her latest album will be available in June, 2014.

Armed with the goal of helping others, Jim Gaven's mission is to write songs that make you think of a good time in your life, make you feel good about yourself, and most of all, put a smile on your face. The upbeat singer/songwriter from New Jersey, USA wants to make a positive difference in the world and truly believes that music has the ability to do that.

"I want to inspire you to do great things as I have been inspired. The fact that you can create something out of nothing and have it last forever is amazing to me."

This is a true testament to the everlasting impact we can all have on each other, and Jim hopes to bring that kind of attitude to the forefront through song.

Amycanbe hails from Italy. Originally comprised of Marco and Mattia, they formed in 2002 but actually started as a four-piece band in 2005, after Francesca and Paolo joined.

After
their first live performances in clubs, theatres and local bars,
Amycanbe recorded a self-produced demo (Yellow Suit - EP) with 5 songs
which attracted the attention of critics and attained widespread
success. Blow Up Magazine placed Amycanbe in the playlist of the Best Debutant Italian Indie Band of 2005. The same year, Amycanbe opened for Skin, Sophia, The Devastations and Yuppie Flu, and played the Roma Rock Festival.

Their
debut album "Being A Grown-Up Sure Is Complicated" was released in
October, 2007. It was produced by Mario Thaler, to critical acclaim.
This coincided with their first UK tour that saw the band playing in Leeds, Bristol, Oxford and Sheffield, as well as their album launch at 12 Bar in London, radio sessions at the BBC
and a 2nd UK tour that saw the band having some highlights in glorious
music venues such as The Borderline and Scala in London, Komedia in
Brighton, The Croft in Bristol and The Gander in Bournemouth.

Back
in Italy... the brilliant international festival called "Assalti Al
Cuore" in Rimini wanted Amycanbe for a gig that would be marked as one
of the greatest in the band's history. It marked the beginning of a new musical direction for the band and the start of their new project.

After
one year of intense and successful gigs around Italy, the EP called
"The World Is Round" was finally released on the 25th of May, 2011.
Preceded by a new single and video called "Everywhere", it received
great feedback, featuring in important blogs and magazines such as
ListenBeforeYouBuy, The London Music Blog and Kismet Magazine with 7.1 Million readers worldwide. The video played on MTV New Generation, VIVA and many other popular music channels.

The long awaited album "Mountain Whales" was finally released late October, 2011.

Born Ready,
also known as Brandon Richardson was born Jan 4, 1987 and grew up as an
only child for most of his life. With no father figure and a mother
with a drug addiction, Ready confided in his grandmother for much of his
childhood. She was his pillar and his reason to stay on a positive
path. When she passed away prematurely before his first year of high
school things took a turn for the worst. "When I lost my grandma it was
like I couldn't breathe, to go through something so devastating at that
age was almost unbearable. When she died a part of me died too."

With no stability and no support in his corner Ready found harmony in the streets. The harsh realities of the streets prompted Born to explore music. Having been introduced to freestyle rap by two close friends, Greg and Jared Blackwell, Ready found a much needed way to vent. It was at that point he decided music was going to be his life.

After moving to North Carolina in an attempt to pursue an academic and athletic avenue, Ready returned to
Pittsburgh and recorded his first album "Trials and Tribulations". Since then he has been featured on
numerous mixtapes
and has even worked with such artists as Project Pat, Roscoe Dash and
Trapaholics. While steadily perfecting his craft Born Ready continues to
engrave his name in the industry. With an original sound and unique
delivery, Born Ready is sure to have a bright future in music.
